keygen(1)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the keygen page — it lives in the XAuth manual, and it's literally here to generate magic cookies for xauth ✨🍪 (yes, that's the actual official term, we don't make the rules, we just slay by them).

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

keygen

that's it. no flags, no arguments, no notes. she's a no-argument icon and she knows it 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the whole vibe: keygen prints a newly generated random key for xauth on the standard output. that's the entire personality 😭💖

like, she generates it fresh every time — newly generated, random, no cap — and then it goes straight to stdout so you (or your bestie xauth) can scoop it right up 🫶

no options to remember, no config file to cry over. she just does the thing. main character energy fr fr 👑

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• xauth(7) — the bestie this whole page is about 💜 go read that one too, iykyk

🌈 friendly reminder: the key goes to standard output, so if you're piping it somewhere, that's where to look. no cap 💀
